Who is liable for this mess! I don't want to leave my home!

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

I am new to the board

Here for some advice. We bought a brand new home 1 year ago. 3 weeks

after we moved in we had a leak underneath our tile shower on the

second floor of the house. The builder came to fix it but never opened

anything up or let it air out. Because we live in such a dry climate,

I was told mold wasn't possible. The shower leaked 5 times over the

course of the next year due to the builders shoddy work. The last time

it leaked they came back and tore the whole thing down to the studs and

found mold everywhere, about a 30 square foot area. They assured us it

was harmless penicillum. I did a tape life of the mold and found out

it is stachy and chaetomium. We moved out of the house. The builder

claims they want to come back and fix the problem. Should we let

them? We don't want to live in the house anymore, we are done! We

also don't have the money for an attorney to sue and get our money

back. Should I let the builder come back and try to fix it, they want

to hire a hygenist to make a protocol for how to clean it up. How will

I ever sell the house now! Any advice would be much appreciated.
